[00:12.42]Now, there is, uh, one thing that, um
[00:15.86]Uh, keeps my head above water when, um
[00:19.10]When, uh, things are getting tough
[00:21.09]Uh, when I’m, uh, feeling like I’m too weird for this world
[00:25.25]Just like a permanent square peg in a permanent round hole
[00:28.28]Like I’m permanently clawing my way up the side of a bell curve
[00:31.99]Stick my flag in the peak and slide my way back down
[00:33.96]Over and over and over and over again
[00:35.55]When I feel like I’m in this cycle of hopelessness
[00:38.24]I’ll never go anywhere, I’ll never amount to anything
[00:40.14]I’ll never be anyone
[00:41.94]Uh, whenever I feel like there’s, just, uh
[00:44.78]No way I’ll get out of this mess alive
[00:47.44]Uh, there’s one thing I keep in mind that really just make thing –
[00:50.71]Makes thing just swell
[00:53.27]Um, and I think it’s- it’s worth, uh
[00:56.12]Setting a reminder on your phone every half hour, go for it, man
[00:59.22]Put this thing thing on your phone, and just, you know
[01:01.94]Never forget it, keep it mind at all times
[01:04.46]There’s just one fact that makes everything awesome
[01:07.08]Uh, and if I just tell you what that thing is, it’s, uh
[01:09.39]Not really gonna translate, um
[01:11.18]So I- I wrote this song, which I- I- I-I, I hope gets the point across
[01:15.82]Cause, uh, God knows I wouldn’t be able to
[01:19.62]Um, just babbling at you like I’m doing right now, so, um
[01:24.18]Anyway, um, this is a song that I like to call
[01:27.78]The Most Important Thing in the World
[01:29.80]
[01:54.80]One day you’ll look up at the ceiling above
[01:58.10]Your three o’ clock, your nine o’ clock, the ones that you love
[02:02.46]The lights in your eyes fade and life flashes by
[02:06.83]One day you’re going to die
[02:10.06]One day you’ll sleep and you’ll never wake again
[02:13.62]Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing, no one knows how it ends
[02:17.95]Rest in peace or pieces and won’t even know why
[02:22.25]One day you’re going to die
[02:25.78]Read your heroscopes, your palms and tarot cards
[02:29.87]Either way you destination ain’t very far
[02:34.16]You could drown, or choke, or burn, or be hit by a car
[02:37.67]What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
[02:39.86]But something will eventually
[02:42.02]One day you’ll look back at the life that you led
[02:45.81]No more future left to fear that you’ll have the past to regret
[02:49.65]But your worries will be over when you truly realize
[02:53.74]One day you’re going to die
[02:56.28]Take it away, hands
[02:57.54]
[03:28.05]In the fabric of time and in the vastness of space
[03:31.99]A billion amounts to nothing in infinity’s face
[03:35.42]At most a couple generations will remember the ways
[03:39.38]In which your life never mattered, so who cares if it’s a waste?
[03:43.13]Well, one day you’ll be not even a faint memory
[03:46.98]No, at most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree
[03:51.05]Your history’s not yours to see, nor is your eulogy
[03:55.23]And you’ll never know what this shit all means
[03:57.97]But you’ll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind
[04:01.57]That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time
[04:05.35]So whether it’s cancer, murder, or suicide
[04:17.86]One day you’re going to die
[04:19.26]Try not to think about it
[04:20.55]One day you’re doing to die
[04:21.97]But there ain’t no life without it
[04:23.32]One day you’re doing to die
[04:24.79]There’s probably nothing after
[04:26.33]One day you’re going to die
[04:27.75]So, if you only have one chance
[04:29.44]You oughta’ try your best to live as you like
[04:32.18]One day you’re going to die
